"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

My girlfriend and I went to a beach last weekend. After we spent our time together, before we went home we decided to sit on a bench and enjoyed the rest of the day.

There were pigeons all around us, eating and stuff. But what is so interesting is the male pigeons were constantly trying to impress the female pigeons. A female pigeon would be approached by a male pigeon, then the male would do some dance or trick to impress the female. There was this one male did a spinning dance! my girlfriend thought it was hot. Of all the pigeons we observed, none of the males successfully impressed the females. The females always end up ignoring or leaving them.

It was funny to see we have the same mating behavior as pigeons do. We laughed so hard just watching these pigeons trying to find a love mate. And my girlfriend made an interesting remark, "It reminds me of those guys who think they are hot but not hot at all."
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It's always seemed to me that humans are the one species on the planet where it's the females, not the males, that bear responsibility for impressing potential mates and earning reproductive rights.

Among humans, it's the females that wear the fancy and colorful plumage designed to attract attention and show off good genes.

Among humans, it's the females that must compete with each other for mates. We've all heard of woman's legendary jealousy and cattiness, and it seems to be mostly directed at either manipulating the male to stay loyal, or to eliminate female competition.

I've always wondered why this is. Maybe those same bad-gened, unmasculine AFCs that, long ago, invented things like chivalry, [arranged] marriages, and the cult of the virgin - not to mention the slave morality - had something to do with it?

Which makes sense; after all, we're the ones that have to bust our asses for those bratty little parasites :D

Something's wrong; this shouldn't have been a double post.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

what? females have to impress the males to mate? Any mildly attractive woman will tell you she could get 90% of men to sleep with her with the snap of a finger.

Visceral, men have to impress women more than the other way around.

when I mean invest I mean pregnancy, taking care of the children.

Males have to compete in most primates as well.

I was talking about pregnancy and children too; who do you think pays for them? The woman? I don't think so.

AFCs try to impress women.

AFCs compete for and fight over women.

AFCs are desperate for sex.

The last time I checked, the kind of guy we're all trying to become here doesn't do any of those things.
